large and brilliant audience. The exercises
begun with piano duet, by Misses Lucy
Lee and Lizzie Riley, followed by solo by
Miss Lucy Minnigerode, and then a duet
by Misses Rebecca and Sallie Daingerfield,
all of which were very well rendered, and
reflected great credit on the young per-
formers, and their accomplished teacher. A
graceful anG appropriate valedictory was
delivered by Miss Maude Wheat, one of the
graduating class; to this succeeded several
pieces of music, all very well performed,
while amongst them. Beethoven's sonata
Opus 81" by Miss Emma Neal, and Colts
chalk's last Hope" by Miss Lucia Hen,
Erickson, elected especial admiration ana
applause. Certificates of distinction were

craduates-Miss Maude Wheat, special
course, and Misses Emma Neal and Jennie
Henderson, full course-were presented
with their diplomas and gold medals by the
Rev. Henderson Suter, of Christ church,
who delivered an interesting address to the
Young ladies. The music stage was beauti
fully decorated with pictures done in
crayon, both portrait and landscapes
by the art class, which were very much
admired. The principal expressed her
pleasure at the good tone that had pervaded
the school during the session, both as to
obedience to rules, and diligent study, and
which enabled her to present the "Croix
d'Houneur'f for obedience, to all the scholars,
without exception. AT the close of the ex-
